Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed tofu and eggs. Gently mix in a pinch of salt and seasoning. If the mixture feels too loose while frying, add an extra egg to bind it better.
-
Fry the Tofu Mixture: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop a ladle of the tofu-egg mixture into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on each side. Ensure they are cooked through and crisp.
-
Make the Spicy Peanut Sauce: In a mortar, combine the fried peanuts, bird’s eye chilies, crushed garlic, and a pinch of salt. Grind the mixture until it reaches a smooth paste. Gradually add a little water to achieve the desired consistency, and stir in some sweet soy sauce to balance the flavors.
-
Serve: Arrange the fried tofu and egg cakes on a serving plate, generously drizzle with the spicy peanut sauce, and sprinkle with chopped celery leaves if desired.
